Description
Affected versions of MISP fail to authorize a submitted sharing group in a specific event-edit path.


The vulnerable logic checked whether the acting user could use a sharing_group_id only when the request explicitly supplied distribution = 4. If the attacker instead omitted distribution but supplied a different sharing_group_id, that authorization branch was skipped. Later, MISP’s field-recovery logic restored the existing event distribution from storage. For events already configured with sharing-group distribution, the unauthorized sharing-group ID could therefore be saved.


The fix adds authorization checks in both the controller and Event::_edit() whenever a non-empty sharing_group_id is supplied without distribution. The model now calls SharingGroup::checkIfAuthorised() before persisting the change.

Vendor Solution

The fix adds an explicit authorization check for the sharing_group_id in the code path where the distribution field is omitted from the edit request. In the controller, if no distribution is submitted but a sharing_group_id is present and differs from the stored value, the user's access to that sharing group is verified via checkIfCanBeUsed before the edit proceeds. In the model's _edit method, a parallel check via checkIfAuthorised is added for the same condition, returning an error if the user is not authorized for the submitted sharing group. This closes the gap where omitting the distribution field bypassed the existing authorization gate.
